Cape Zanpa is one of the most beautiful locations to witness the sun setting into the East China Sea. While Okinawa is known for its beautiful capes, Cape Zama is one of the only capes on Okinawa Island that has an operational lighthouse and is easily accessible from Naha and the surrounding villages. The rugged coastline and rustic lighthouse make an ideal setting at any time of day. This time, however, I decided to visit closer to dusk to witness what was one of my personal favorite sunsets in recent memory. To access Cape Zanpa, take Route 58 north until you reach Route 6, turn left and follow the signs to Cape Zanpa.
